Question: Which keyboard do you use and prefer? My Answer: Fortunately for me, they're on and the same: the keyboard Apple ships with its desktops. I used the black ones for a long time and held on to them even though I had a white one, but I finally gave in when I moved here […]

Question: What would you change about the current iPod? There are a lot of suggestions here if you're interested.

Question: Have you bought any iTunes videos yet? My Answer: I have not. I was tempted to grab the Pixar shorts, but I don't really want to look at my iPod to see them. I don't have any commutes, so the TV shows don't interest me (and I only watch one of them regularly anyway). […]

Question: What do you think of the nude/sex tv show being aired at UC San Diego? My Answer: I'm fine with it. If people don't want to watch, don't watch. I've always been in favor of having a more open society than one that's not. When I visited France, people were nude on TV in […]

Question: Do you believe it? My Answer: Sure, but it's not what people may think. I think that it's possible to add the features they're talking about without chucking the existing code base, and for those who have been after Apple for an "entirely new Fidner" or "a Cocoa Finder" or "a rewritten Finder," "re-designing" […]

The idea is to make shooting in RAW as easy as […]

Question: Are you getting a video iPod? My Answer: Yeah, eventually. Not because I particularly care about the video stuff (though putting some videos on for Little One will be nice, especially as I can roll my own from the TiVo if I dare to bother), but because mine is getting older. It's a 30 […]
